Town of Wilton, NY Economic Development

In order to simplify or streamline the permitting and approval process for these projects, the Town will coordinate, at the applicant's request, a preapproval conference with the Chairs of the local involved agencies. This will allow the applicant the opportunity to determine what permits/approvals are required and, even more importantly, what the scheduling requirements are for them. The Chairs of the following agencies would be involved on the majority of projects: the Town Planning Board, the Town Zoning Board, the Saratoga County Planning Board, the Wilton Water and Sewer Authority, Saratoga County Sewer District No. 1 and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Determining the scope and timing of the necessary permits and approvals will clarify for the applicant the steps that lie ahead. Also, the agencies will become aware of the project at an early stage and be better prepared to handle the processing of the permit or approval. This should assist both the applicant and the agencies by creating a more efficient, meaningful process.

It is the intent of this article to authorize the Town of Wilton to prepare and submit an application for designation of an area within Saratoga County as an Economic Development Zone.
